Indeed, all told, 69.4 percent of the contiguous U.S. is covered by snow as of today. That’s more than double the snow cover last month, NOAA said.

Potentially, snow could fall in North Florida tonight, considering temperatures are forecast to plunge into the mid 20s in that region. On the other hand, there probably isn’t enough moisture in the atmosphere for that to happen.

Meanwhile, as we’ve been reporting, it will be chilly in South Florida tonight and Thursday morning, with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s in Palm Beach County and the low 40s in Broward and Miami-Dade.

Hi Sam. Jacksonville saw flurries over the Christmas weekend, but even then nothing stuck. And there certainly wasn’t any snow there today; it’s bright and sunny. The NOAA report pertains specifically to today’s conditions.

global warming does not mean just heat but wierd weather of all kinds for if the ice caps in north and south pole keeps melting it changes the ocean currents and may urge on the next ice age.and or make stroms we’ve never seen before in our life time,includind tidalwaves.

How about that one from Johnny ? Global Warming will plunge us into the next ice age! And if I put on the heat in my house tonight, my floors may be covered in ice by the morning. Keep drinking that Kool-Aid … HA, HA!

January 1978 Horace Mann Jr High in Miami and coach said “Dress Out” (meaning shorts and t-shirts) or get an “F” for the day, Well I took my “F” and stayed warm outside thinking oh the everglades must be burning again look at all this ash in the air then we realized it was SNOWING! Just had ice on windshield and grass few weeks ago so with any luck we’ll be making snowmen soon.

Hi Bill. Did it snow in January 1978? I know that it snowed in South Florida on Jan. 19, 1977. On that day, light snow flurries swirled around the palms, swimming pools and golf courses. The next day, the now defunct Fort Lauderdale News had a screaming headline: SNOW!

Any brain-dead Libtard idiots out there still believe in the lie of “Global Warming?” Record cold winters everywhere and the raving lunatics still spew out their lies about the planet somehow warming and man is causing it. What a crock of you know what.

Those who seriously accept a ‘global warming’ base their analysis on actual data, not just a politically-driven opinion as you seem to base your comments on. The last time this many tons of CO2 were released in the air was just before the Permian Extinction. Fossil evidence shows a reduction in amphibians, just as now, and for the same reason: increasing temps in their habitats increased and decimated them with fungal infections, as we are seeing now. Eventually it caused an environmental desert that the Earth took thousands of years to recover from (if it happens now, it means untold human suffering). Fossil chemical evidence also shows that methane hydride (a 10X worse than CO2 greenhouse gas) trapped in the bottoms of cold lakes was released with the warming, just as suddenly is happening now in Siberia as reported by Russian scientists. All this ancient CO2 was the result of CO2 emissions by the Siberian Traps, a set of super-volcanoes that stretched for hundreds and hundreds of miles in Siberia in the ancient past. I haven’t noticed any several-hundred-mile-long super volcanoes spewing this much CO2, have you? They would be hard to miss, especially with modern global-imaging satellites. There is no possible natural source of this much CO2 – and we as humans are releasing tons & tons more of the stuff every year (each week of the year, China opens 2-3 new coal-fired plants releasing yet more – it will get worse). As a science and horticulture instructor, applying the scientific method to this actual data,I have to think it can only be the result of our emissions. Add the modern data of the sudden emergence of far southern Atlantic hurricanes (caused by more heat in the global system), which we were told for years were impossible, there is something to worry about. When we find out that the Saudis have spent $10 billion (yes, billion, with a ‘b’) over the past ten years to place anonymous news releases against the idea of greenhouse gas pollution, to keep reaping American oil dollars, we must also think that we might be the object of a lot of foreign manipulation. The American oil boys are very happy to go along – it makes money for them too.Look at the facts, use scientific methodology in your thinking, and you may change your mind. Going to bio-diesel and other fuel sources will not only save our environment – it will also save the family farm, and American freedom.

Those of you who want cold weather and snow leave. There are enough places to go to that are cold. Stop the whining and leave.
